AOR R+(SUSTAINED RELEASE) LIPOIC ACID 60 vegi caps 150mg
R(+)SR provides the natural form of this vital antioxidant. It is the sole form produced in the body for use in the mitochondria. All lipoic acids including conventional 'lipoic acid' or 'alpha lipoic acid' supplements are only 50% R(+)-lipoic acid; the other half of such supplements is the artificial S(-)-enantiomer. The one feature limiting all lipoic acids is the extremely short plasma half life of around 22 minutes. R(+) SR has been specially formulated to provide a more bioavailable salt form than the conventional 'alpha lipoic acid' or R(+)- lipoic acid that is more stable to heat and moisture making it more resistant to polymerisation. In addition, R(+)SR is formulated in a special matrix to provide a sustained release guaranteed for 8-10 hours. Two to three capsules of R(+)SR provides a 24 hour coverage of this important and versatile antioxidant.
